Researcher for the Printed Fuel Cells & Electrolysers line

The Functional Printing & Embedded Devices Unit develops innovative solutions based on functional materials and devices.

This Unit has the knowledge and experience to contribute from research concepts to prototyping and manufacturing. The Unit can cover the entire TRL chain, from the conceptualization of the idea to prototype validation, including design, proof of concept, material analysis, processes, prototyping, and characterization.

The specialization areas of the Unit include the formulation of functional inks, printing and coating processes for lightweight and flexible devices, their characterization, and in terms of electronics, the design, development, and manufacturing of conventional PCB electronics and hybrid electronics.

The candidate will carry out tasks within multidisciplinary team projects in the field of fuel cell and electrolyzer development for sustainable energy technologies, based on raw material devices and printing techniques.

In particular, the tasks include:

• Analysis of state-of-the-art,
• Material processing for membranes and catalysts,
• Physicochemical characterization of materials and surfaces (electrical, optical, morphological characterization techniques, among others).
• Assembly and simulation/characterization of electrochemical cells and/or fuel cells;
• Calculation, design, programming, and/or assembly of gas control systems;
• Analysis and presentation of results and preparation of technical reports. 

Will join a dynamic and multicultural work environment, with a vision of generating value for clients and with agile and innovative project management methodologies.
